Women with night-owl pattern eat more late-night snacks and have higher body fat - study
A study found that women who stay awake late, described as having a night-owl pattern, were linked to higher body fat and metabolic indicators. The research, published in Frontiers, analysed data from 287 New Zealand women of European and Pacific ethnicity aged 18 to 45. Evening-type participants consumed more late-night food and had higher BMI and fat measures. Blood markers such as glucose and triglycerides were also higher, though generalisation is limited.
